Chubby Mommy: Scheming Daddy, Surrender Now!-Chapter 270: Fierce Yet Adorable

After work in the evening, Ethan Sterling went to buy a box of macarons that Honey liked, and then bought a large bouquet of eustoma with purple edges and white base, which was Ruby Sullivan’s favorite flower. Although he never could smell what was so fragrant about this flower, Ruby had said that she liked the smell of eustoma very much.

Ms. Sullivan had called to scold him in anger, and as a qualified husband, of course he had to buy gifts to apologize.

Thinking about how Ruby looked like a puffed-up kitten on the phone in the morning, a smile appeared on his lips again. He’s certainly not into masochism, but he felt that Ruby, who was losing her temper with him like this, regarded him as one of her own, not an opponent in a game anymore, nor someone to be pleased, but the person by her side.

So, in front of him, she could lose her temper, could be willful, without worrying that he would not buy it.

The driver saw that the boss seemed to be in a good mood and couldn’t help but flatter, "Are these flowers for Mrs. Sterling? They’re really beautiful."

"Yes, she really likes these flowers." Ethan Sterling carefully held the flowers in his arms, afraid that putting them down would affect their shape, just like a child holding a treasure, not daring to relax for a moment.

Every time Ethan returned home, he opened the door himself, so when the doorbell rang, Ruby was a bit surprised. She couldn’t think who would come at this time, and upon hearing it was Ethan, she opened the door, only to see a large bouquet of eustoma first.

Ruby was stunned for a moment, then a big smile bloomed on her face, "So beautiful!"

No woman doesn’t want to receive flowers, especially her favorite flowers, unless she’s allergic to pollen.

After hearing her exclamation, Ethan peeked out from behind the bouquet, pretending to be a little puppy, blinking his eyes, "So you’re not mad at me anymore?"

Ruby felt like fireworks exploded in her mind, her whole being brightened up. Ethan’s face, which could be fierce or cute, was simply unfair, wasn’t it? It’s just unreasonable!

Ethan was very satisfied with her stunned look and handed over the flowers, "I wasn’t thoughtful enough, these are to apologize to you."

Only then did Ruby foolishly smile and take the flowers, "Then I’ll reluctantly forgive you."

She hummed a tune as she went to arrange the flowers.

He entered the house, and as usual, the two kids came out from the room to greet their dad, but Honey was noticeably upset. Although she had made a choice under her brother’s guidance, thinking that her troubles were all caused by her dad made her a bit grumpy.

"Dad."

The two kids called out, then turned to go back to their rooms.

"Honey!" Ethan called out to his daughter who usually ran over to ask for a hug every day, "Look what Dad bought for you?" He shook the pink cake box in his hand.

Honey’s eyes indeed lit up, "Is this my favorite cake?"

Ethan sat down and opened the box, "It’s your favorite macarons, but since we’re about to have dinner, you can only eat one. The rest, Dad will put in the fridge for you to have tomorrow, okay?"

Honey propped her chubby little arms on the coffee table, looking at the colorful macarons in the box, nodding repeatedly, and with a cheerful smile, she spent a long time picking before finally choosing a sky-blue one, "Then I’ll eat just this one."

After she took one out, Ethan put the rest of the cake in the fridge, turned back and sat on the sofa, picking up his daughter, "Honey, can you tell Dad why you like Ms. Yates so much?"

"Mr. Yates’ classes are interesting, he knows what I want to learn, and the things he talks about also interest my brother. Both my brother and I can understand them." In Honey’s heart, such classes are what she wants, lessons that can prove she is as outstanding as her brother.

Ethan nodded, "Since that’s the case, it’s indeed better for Mr. Yates to stay at our place. He can spend more time with you, and you can learn more. But our house is a bit small right now, and if Mr. Yates moves in, there will be a lot of inconveniences among the adults. So, Dad will temporarily take Mom to live elsewhere, but I’ll come back every day to have meals with you."

Next to them, Ruby pretended to focus on arranging flowers, listening to Ethan’s slow and detailed explanation to Honey. Her bit of dissatisfaction also gradually disappeared. The one person who could make Ethan so patient was probably his daughter, who was always worried he’d hate her.

"Mm." Honey was busy savoring the macaron with her chubby little hands and actually didn’t hear much of what Dad said.

Seeing his daughter react this way, Ethan was quite satisfied. He bought the macarons to smooth things over with his daughter. As long as she’s in a good mood, it doesn’t matter if she listened to what he said or not.

In the evening, after putting his daughter to sleep, Ethan went to his son’s room.

Communicating with his son was much easier, "I have a task for you."

Seth sat up seriously upon hearing this, ready to listen to what Dad had to say next.

"Be wary of Gwen Yates. Now Honey really likes her, and I don’t want Honey to get hurt." After Ethan finished speaking, he patted Seth’s shoulder, "We have to protect Mom and your sister."

Seth thought it was something serious, but after hearing that, half his face turned dark and he said disdainfully, "Gwen Yates isn’t going to be another Rhonda Sullivan, is she?"

"Impossible."

Although Ethan said it decisively, Seth looked at him with distrustful eyes, making Ethan a bit uneasy.

"I really am afraid your sister would get hurt."

"Got it." Seth sighed after speaking, "When will you let me worry less?"

Ethan’s mouth twitched, "Soon." He stood up after saying this and patted Seth’s shoulder, "Be sure to be cautious, okay?"

"Dad, you’re so annoying." Seth directly lay down and pulled the covers over, "If you doubt someone, don’t use them, and if you use them, don’t doubt them. Goodnight, Dad. Please turn off the light when you leave, thank you."

Ethan was choked by what his son said, but thinking about his own mess in personal matters, he could only show through actions in the future.

"Goodnight, son." He bent down and kissed Seth’s forehead, then walked out of the room quietly.

After returning to the bedroom, Ethan handed a thick file to Ruby. It contained several potential sites for her studio that he had carefully considered. The file not only included prices but also detailed the surrounding area, transportation, and pros and cons.

Ruby had been thinking during the day about going to a real estate agency the next day to have a look, but she didn’t expect Ethan to have already chosen some for her.

"Once you pick a location, just move the equipment from the top-floor lab over."

Ruby was stunned, "Are you really not going to make perfumes anymore?"

Ethan looked at her like she was a fool and asked flatly, "Do you really want me competing with my own wife’s business? I don’t want to come home every day and have to kneel on a washboard." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ruby blinked and blinked again. That seemed logical, but somehow it also felt a bit off.

Before persuading her to come back, Ethan had planned for a long time for The Sterling Group in the perfume market. Although the two perfumes she created earned The Sterling Group a lot of money, it seemed a pity to just stop now.

Aren’t businessmen supposed to maximize profits?
